Bought a new 2012 Nissan Rogue in March. It is the first vehicle I have owned in the past 20+ years where the manufacturer does not recommend a 5000 mile oil change interval. Nissan recommends a 3750 mile interval. Additionally, the dealer provides free oil changes for the first year of ownership…

That is a short oil change interval, especially if a full synthetic oil is used. Possible reason is Nissan has had issues such as sludge build up. Also, if the motor is turbo charged the turbo might run very hot and need good fresh oil to keep from burning out the bearings in the turbo. If the oi…

Is that the severe use or normal use interval ? If the normal interval is 7500, use that. Unless you use your Rogue as a taxi, police vehicle or maintain the Baja run on a regular basis, the normal interval is sufficient. If 3750 is for normal usage, would severe be like 1500 miles ? With synthetic,…

From Nissan’s own website: Schedule Options : SCHEDULE 1 (more severe operating conditions), every 3,750 miles or 3 months, whichever comes first. Use Schedule 1 if you primarily operate your vehicle under any of these conditions: •Repeated short trips of less than 5 miles in normal temperatur…

Sounds Right To Me. I’d Always Go With 3,750, Never More Than 4,000 Miles On This Car. What Is The Total Capacity Of This Engine ? How Much Oil Is Required With A Filter Change ? CSA

Many New Cars Specify Synthetic Oil Blends Or Full Synthetic. I’d Go With Mobil-1 Or Mobil-1 Extended Performance. Didn’t You Get An Owner’s Manual With This Car ? CSA

Sounds like you’ve been listening to the service department rather than reading your owner’s manual. Follow the guidelines listed above. While I disagree that most drivers are ‘severe’, I have no problem with a 5k oil change interval on regular oil without an oil life monitor. If my vehicle has an…

While I disagree that most drivers are 'severe', One Line says that every driver in the North drives in severe conditions. •Driving in dusty conditions or on rough, muddy, or salt-spread roads It’s almost impossible to drive on a road in the north east in the winter without running into salt. Whi…

How does driving on a salty road place extra wear on the oil?

Texases, I’m Guessing It’s From The Fine Dust From The Salt. The Best Air Filtration System Won’t Stop All Particles. Oil Is Contaminated Faster. Tons of salt are dumped all over the roads here for sometimes six months of the year. The roads turn white. The cars turn white. I hate it, but I’ve alwa…

Sounds good, it’s as if I was driving on a dusty road. And I also agree with the cold weather issue, a relative had a older Ford, he drained the oil (was wondering why the oil level had increased) and he was able to light the oil with a match! Between the blowby and the cold weather, he never got the engine hot enough to boil off the gasoling…
